I really wanted to cover this subject and tell you ALL how important it is to protect your passwords. Not only its for security, but also if you ever lose your master password - thats it - it is not replaceable. Enjoy this lesson and let me know in comments below what else you want to learn!
So I will discuss more in another post all the passwords we have.
1. Master Password
2. Active Key
3. Posting Key
4. Memo Key
You should never use your master password on daily basis. That password should be written down on a paper, and hidden away in a safe. Write it down few times and store it somehwere far away, so nobody can get it.
For every day use, I recommend using your posting key - which allows you to post, comment and upvote content. If you ever want to use your wallet - for any transactions, powering up, powering down, randowhale ect you would need to use your active key.
This would be the safest way and even if someone breaks into your account and knows your posting key, they wont be able to do any transactions in your wallet. This is done for our own protection.
The reason Steemit has so many passwords, because it is a monetised platform and will attract more attention than other platforms. So just be careful and i wanted to touch up on the subject!
Lots of love,
